[Verse 1]
Tonight I pressed a pencil to paper
Was surprised I didn't see Shakespeare
Gave on up, and gave in
Broken lead, bleeding a bad dream
Wake me up when I've got my trophy
Don't wanna try, just wanna win (I just want to win)

[Pre-Chorus]
Expecting eyes pinned to my neck
They'd rather me dead than imperfect

[Chorus]
Golden child, where did you go wrong? (Golden child)
Where have you been all night long? (Golden child)
Golden child, silver spoon in mouth (Golden child)
Let them talk as you let thеm down (Golden child)

[Verse 2]
2 a.m. with something on my breath (Ah-haah)
Bluе ribbons won't get outta my head
Is this who I wanna be? (Who I wanna be?)
Freedom tastes so damn addictive
Perfection was so damn restrictive
When I fuck up (Oh my God), I am free
[Pre-Chorus]
Expecting eyes pinned to my neck
They'd rather me dead than imperfect (Hey, hey)

[Chorus]
Golden child, where did you go wrong? (Golden child)
Where have you been all night long? (Golden child)
Golden child, silver spoon in mouth (Golden child)
Let them talk as you let them down (Golden child)
Like something like that

[Outro]
Golden child
Show them, child
You're golden child
Golden child
Show them, child
You're golden
